Well, to be fair, there are believers very much involved in science. I've seen some excellent presentations of evolutionary biology (and specifically human evolution) presented by a catholic (of all folks). Believing in a god doesn't prevent one from desiring a factually accurate picture of our reality or origins. Hell, I'd imagine that a person very much in love with the lord would be exceedingly interested in the particulars. It takes a very special brand of asshole to imagine that the cosmos must somehow bend to their own notions born of ignorance or lack of interest. As if the very god they propose is obliged to somehow accommodate their idiocy, rather then being free to be greater than whatever they have imagined it to be. It seems, that creatards prefer their gods to be small. They would rather have the god they've dreamt up, the one they are comfortable with, than any god which exceeds their understanding of a given subject. Uncertainty is unsettling. To be confronted with one's lack of knowledge is uncomfortable. For some, the realization that they must admit to having been mistaken is unthinkable, even if the cause of confusion is completely understandable.
(If science were ever going to render superstition DOA it probably would have done so by now. They'd just find some new excuse.)

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
